Economists have a warning about the future of the workforce. Texas — along with many other states — could miss out on opportunities because too many people don’t have the skills that a growing number of jobs require. Starting in 2018 and extending to 2028, there will be 4.6 million U.S. manufacturing jobs to fill, according to a study by Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute. The skills gap may leave an estimated 2.4 million positions vacant during that 10-year period.
